Planning

I will continue to lobby for the introduction of Stop Notices and Third Party Right of Appeal to make the planning system fairer and more accountable.

I will continue to lobby for a more robust planning procedure thus ensuring that our natural environment is protected from inappropriate developments. For too long there has been little accountability to local residents. I support the introduction of ‘Stop Notices’ and ‘Third Party Right of Appeal’, particularly in conservation areas, to make the planning system more level for applicant and local residents alike.

I want to see a clean and healthy environment where the quality of our air, land and water are safe and in which we can all take pride.
